About the piece

Created around 1910 by the French artist Ker-Xavier Roussel, this atmospheric oil painting depicts two figures resting on a verdant slope at Varengeville. The work is characterized by the artist's signature soft, loose brushwork and a muted palette of greens, pale yellows, and cool blues, evoking the tranquil air of the Normandy coast.
